CHAPTER 1094: CHAPTER 339: THE FINAL PLAN, HEAVENLY PALACE PLAN

The main melody of life is composed of pain, and joyous times are always the minority, much like a period that serves as an embellishment in an entire Chapter. After the period, there is often new pain.

But when this Chapter is about to end, and you have reached a certain height.

Looking back again.

The hardships and trials experienced once, make the entire Chapter filled with a stunning sense of amazement, and the joy interspersed among them is like chords in a melody, blending extremely harmoniously.

The happiest thing in life.

Is to stand at a high enough height and look back at the past.

The most painful thing in life.

Is that your current height is already the highest one in your entire life.

...

In these three days, Chen Qiu took Fat Long and others to meet many old friends, including the Flying Fish City Lord, the Fat City Lord, and a group of former subordinates from when he was a State Preceptor.

The Fat City Lord, in those years, due to his transfer order, guarded the remote place of Fei City with near Golden Core Peak cultivation, without regrets for decades. Such persistence and trust are truly hard to remain unmoved by.

Then there was the Flying Fish City Lord, whose daughter is now also a married woman, no longer as immature.

After all, more than ten years have passed.

She no longer pesters him for a signature, this girl who once asked her father to request a signature from him has grown up, but it’s now her daughter’s turn, tugging at his coat with her chubby little hands, asking him for a signature.

It seems like a cycle.

Someone is always growing up, and someone is always young.

Someone is always doing what you once did, and you will always stand in the same position watching with a smile.

He left many gifts for these former subordinates, gifts that could help them enhance their cultivation more quickly, with Spirit Stones perhaps being the most practical gift among them.

After all, in "Da Xia Country," the usual trade deals involve low-grade Spirit Stones, while mid-grade Spirit Stones are only used when breaking through Great Realms and setting up a Spirit Gathering Array.

He left ten thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones for each of them, which is not much to him, not to mention the Devouring Treasure Spirit Tree rooted in the "Nihility," but merely the current Spirit he carries amounts to several billion mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Ten thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones is not much to him.

Yet in Da Xia Country, it is an enormous fortune; once, he went through much hardship for just one mid-grade Spirit Stone, even breaking through the Golden Core stage, which only required dozens of mid-grade Spirit Stones.

When condensing a twelve-grade Golden Core, it required a large amount of Spiritual Energy, yet he only used a little over a hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones.

While claiming that he is as rich as a nation would be an exaggeration, it should not be a problem to become instantly wealthy.

Moreover, he also went to the Boundless Snow Mountain.

With his current strength, he easily found a lot of "Everfrost Dominion" and "Frostveil Tea" under the heavy snow, but unfortunately, there weren’t many other things under the snow but these.

He didn’t take everything away.

He stopped once he felt he had enough, waiting to come back next time to gather more.

After his cultivation broke through to Human Immortal.

"Da Xia Country" was a place he could return to at any time, not because the cultivation breakthrough to Human Immortal could break this barrier, but only because he had the Sect Master Token of Chao Tian Sect, he could ignore this barrier upon breaking through to Human Immortal.

For someone else, no matter if they achieved Human Immortal, not even True Immortals could break this barrier.

And on this day—

He led Fat Long and others towards the south of Da Xia Country.

...

"Years without returning, everything has dramatically changed."

On the furthest southern point of Da Xia Country, at the ruins of Feizhou, on the ruins of Fei City.

Fat Long stood on the frozen ground, looking at the half-man-tall ruins of buildings before him with a complex expression; this was Fei City, but now, looking at it, it’s extremely flat, with only this slightly protruding building ruin.

Fei City is gone.

The entire Fei City has already been buried underground, with only the highest buildings of Fei City revealing a bit of the corner, but judging by this posture, these corners will also be gone before long.

He stomped on the frozen ground with force, as snowflakes splashed up, one could see that at his feet, there wasn’t any frozen earth!

It was obviously based on a large amount of Evil Wood, with countless snowflakes and dust filling in all gaps like adhesive, then all frozen together in extreme cold, forming the permafrost.

The entire Feizhou was covered layer upon layer with towering Evil Wood, raising the ground level by several zhang.

"Especially since this temperature is just too..."

Fat Long furrowed his brows, cautiously withdrawing the Protective Spirit Qi at his fingertips, and in the next moment—

Frost quickly covered his fingertips, and the surrounding skin turned dead white in an instant, frightfully shocking Fat Long into activating Protective Spirit Qi again, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"What kind of joke is this!"

"I already have Void Refining Cultivation! How is it that I couldn’t withstand this chill aura without activating Protective Spirit Qi?"

"Brother Qiu, this chill aura surely has some issue. I can’t hold it off; how could the locals of Da Xia Country withstand it without trouble?"

"..."

Chen Qiu slightly frowned, likewise withdrawing the Protective Spirit Qi, feeling the chill wind’s devastation on his body. It didn’t have much of an effect on him, merely a faint sense of numbness, akin to having peppers in a particular bodily area.

But this was unusual!

One must know, he possesses Earth Immortal cultivation level eight, yet the cold wind that could affect him without Protective Spirit Qi could not be ordinary. Especially, according to Xia Xundao, the further one moves towards the Boundless Icefield, the lower the temperature.
